I was thinking about looking into one of the pedal units any ideas how they are. Anyone here own one?
You mean Fractal AX8 -- there's a *long* waiting list to get one of those just now.

If you be able to find one, get an EGNATER TOURMASTER. It has 4 channels, the cleans are soooo beutiful, the overdriven sounds are amazing ! I am telling you...
Are you looking to go pedal free, or with pedals? For most I would think the Mesa Boogie MkV series is among the most versatile there is. I myself am looking to eventually get a MkV, the full powered one. The big question is head + cabinet vs combo. Mesa combos are BEASTS. My DC-5 is great, but weighs a metric ton.
Go for the head I got the combo it's heavy as all hell. And I never have liked the open backed sound so it's been plugged in a 4×12 since I got it. The 10 watt mode sounds fantastic through a 212 at lower volumes and 90 watt cranks.Are you looking to go pedal free, or with pedals?

I've got a Mesa Express 5:50 amplifier. Very good amp for a cover band, so versatile. Works very well with pedals too, I use a few cool OD/Fuzz pedals to get even more tones. I've got the combo amp. It's only one speaker but plenty loud enough... not too heavy as well.
I originally bought a Marshall, but after trying the Mesa I returned the Marshall right away and bought the Express. Highly recommended.
I saw that on their website . That's okay that may be too much for me anyway .
From all my research today , since I'm playing in a country cover band now the Roland gr55 synth might be a good option with my dc5 or maybe my jcm 800 . I really don't need a new amp just wanted to buy one .
With all the input from everyone I've been thinking of other things to do now.
Does a guitar have to be physically altered for the Roland pickup ?
Which one do you have the combo or Head ? Is it the express plus or the old one.
Mesa Express 5:50 plus combo amp. I bought it new in 2014. I've sure the head/speaker option would be pretty much the same or even better.
Buy an Axe FX II XL+ you'll never be the same ....
i found a guy that is selling a 1974 music man rd 65 head and that one is kind of tempting I have heard that they are a very clean amp. and from the pictures it looks in really good condition
